大案涂在答题纸上，59-75小题答案写在答题纸上) A If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be \body.\people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others!
statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
59. Successful businessmen pay thousands of dollars for a tie.
60. Some clothes are no longer in fashion though they have hardly been worn.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothing would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the fabric (布料) or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It's still just a suit and tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.
Fashion is constantly (不断地) changing, which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes (衣柜) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!

There're two main things that make
aircraft
engineering difficult: the need
to make every part as
reliable (靠得
住的) as possible and the need to build everything as light
as possible.
（61）_____________________
Given a certain power of engine and a certain fuel consumption ( 消耗 ), there is a practical limit to the total weight of the aircraft that can be made to fly. (62)
So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency (效能) will allow. The designer must calculate (计算) the normal load (负荷 that each part will bear. This specialist is called the \man\
He takes account of any unusual stress that may be put on
the part.
The stress man's calculations go to the designer of
the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress man says is necessary. (63) Each separate part is tested, then a whole assembly (装配) --for example, a complete wing, and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made.
normally only one of the first three made will be flown.
Two will be destroyed on the ground in structural tests. (64)______________
(65) The first is to find the
resistance ( 阻力) to loading of the wings, tail, etc. until
they reach their largest amount of load and collapse (崩
溃 ). The other test is for fatigue ( 疲惫 ) strength. When
a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government certificate (证书) of airworthiness, without which it is
